There is your problem. You have a non-standard/third-party ppa repository and it's for Lucid. Edit the file (as root) and comment any non-commented lines. Save and close. Then rerun the sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade commands again. You should be fine.

but they are all commented out .....but you cant tell it from hear (this ls list) .............however I do hope that's his problem as this is getting quite strange

FYI ...I beleve you @pablo173 sead you were using synaptic? ...... if so you can also go to (in synaptic)settings>repository’s click the "other software" tab and uncheck them their

I've noticed that release upgrades can change the repositories named inside the various files in sources.list.d, but it won't change the file names.

[Snowhog]

But, having non-standard/third-party repositories can/usually does create the problems the OP is experiencing. The general rule is to disable such repositories before doing a release upgrade.

[SteveRiley]

True. To know for sure, it would be good to take a look inside those files.

@pablo173: would you show us what's inside tualatrix-ppa-lucid.list, please?

Also... Ubuntu Tweak, which you're obtaining from that PPA, is intended for GNOME desktops, not KDE.

http://ubuntu-tweak.com/about/

Ubuntu Tweak is an application designed to config Ubuntu easier for everyone. It provides many useful desktop and system options that the default desktop environment doesn't provide. At present, it's only designed for the Ubuntu GNOME Desktop, and always follows the newest Ubuntu distribution.

[SteveRiley]

There appear to be some bug reports regarding segfaults in that libapt package...

[pablo173]

Vinnie,

I tried adding

## This software is not part of Ubuntu, but is offered by third-party
## developers who want to ship their latest software.
deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main
deb-src http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main

to my /etc/apt/sources.list, but no help.

[pablo173]

Tried Vinnie's suggestion:

No help

Try doing:

 wget [URL="http://ubuntu.mirror.cambrium.nl/ubuntu//pool/main/a/apt/libapt-pkg4.12_0.8.16%7Eexp12ubuntu10.2_i386.deb"]http://ubuntu.mirror.cambrium.nl/ubuntu//pool/main/a/apt/libapt-pkg4.12_0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.2_i386.deb[/URL]

(if you have 32 bit install)
or:

 wget [URL="http://ubuntu.mirror.cambrium.nl/ubuntu//pool/main/a/apt/libapt-pkg4.12_0.8.16%7Eexp12ubuntu10.2_amd64.deb"]http://ubuntu.mirror.cambrium.nl/ubuntu//pool/main/a/apt/libapt-pkg4.12_0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.2_amd64.deb[/URL]

(for 64bit)
and then

 sudo dpkg -i libapt-*.deb

[pablo173]

@pablo173: would you show us what's inside tualatrix-ppa-lucid.list, please?

$ cat tualatrix-ppa-lucid.list
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tualatrix/ppa/ubuntu precise main # disabled on upgrade to precise

[SteveRiley]

OK, so your PPA file is up-to-date. Despite the comment, the PPA isn't disabled because there's no hash at the beginning of the line. I do wonder, though, what other problems you might experience by using Ubuntu-tweak on a KDE-based system. I wouldn't recommend it.

Let us know if Sumski's idea works for you.

[pablo173]

Tried Sumski's suggestion --

$ sudo dpkg -i libapt-*.deb
(Reading database ... 211809 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace libapt-pkg4.12 0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.2 (using libapt-pkg4.12_0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.2_amd64.deb) ...
Unpacking replacement libapt-pkg4.12 ...
Setting up libapt-pkg4.12 (0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.2) ...
Processing triggers for libc-bin ...
ldconfig deferred processing now taking place

Looked encouraging, but Apper gave error:

"trying to overwrite '/usr/share/kde4/apps/libkexiv2/data/topicset.iptc-subjectcode.xml', which is also in package libkexiv2-8 4"

and Synaptic gave error:

"E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the download directory

W: Ignoring file 'libapt-pkg4.12_0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.2_amd64.deb' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/' as it has an invalid filename extension
W: Ignoring file 'libapt"

[sumski]

Ok, turn off any package managers opened, remove downloaded deb from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/, and try with

 sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -s dist-upgrade

and post the complete output here.
That libkexiv2 package is a leftover from Lucid. But the good thing is, you got apt running, now to fix packages to install/upgrade/purge

EDIT:
Also, please post results of

sudo apt-get -s purge libkexiv*
